Splash might be the extremely quieted in this class. The engine is barely audible and i have to check often whether the ignition is switched on. Even though the motor displaces lesser than the swift, the power on tap is sufficient to pull through the motorway and even the mountains of Vizagpatnam.Sat, 26 Mar 2011 02:47:47 GMThttps://www.articleseen.com/Article_volkswagen-polo-test-drive_57266.aspx Unlike Maruti or Chevy, Volkswagen is not a well known car maker in India. Before the polo, it has smaller presence in the Indian market. To be honest, many Indian customers don’t know Skoda and Audi are part of Volkswagen group (thanks to clear branding).

This compact city car has been drawing the attention of the buyers in the country since its very launch which was indigenously built by TATA in India.

Hyundai could have learnt a thing or two from Ritz,Jazz and Punto. Especially the pricing!Hyundai one of the early entrant into the premium hatch segment with its getz failed to stamp its presence there. The runaway success of swift just blew it. But in the second round Hyundai made a strong comeback with its i20. Tue, 15 Mar 2011 01:19:27 GMThttps://www.articleseen.com/Article_hyundai-i10-review_55784.aspxTaking advantage of the demand for more small cars in the Indian auto industry, Hyundai rolled out i10 with a powerful engine and an upscale interior.

Sat, 12 Mar 2011 02:28:53 GMThttps://www.articleseen.com/Article_maruti-eeco-review_55647.aspx Historically the rear wheel drive (RWD) is said to be more fun to drive. Eeco is a rear wheel drive vehicle but is not meant for that. Eeco is undertyred and runs on 155 R13 tubeless tyres. The skinny tyres (also the lack of allloy wheels) spoils the looks to.Unlike the Versa, Eeco lacks the power steering which means you have to work out heavily not in gym but with hard steering wheel to sneak trhough the traffic. But Eeco is easy to park with smaller turning radius and also it takes up less Sat, 12 Mar 2011 02:24:58 GMThttps://www.articleseen.com/Article_chevrolet-beat-test-drive_55562.aspx Built on the 300 series platform which is also the platform the cruze and upcoming next generation aveo. While the platform fell short with Cruze’s engine, it handles the beat with ease. The straightline stability is impeccable. Even at 130kmph we never felt unruffled. However, as typical of other city cars the suspension is tuned for ride than handling. Also it is undertyred (155/70 apollo accelere) and but making fun is not Beat’s forte. Though the steerring is not as light as Hyundai i10, bFri, 11 Mar 2011 05:12:37 GMThttps://www.articleseen.com/Article_maruti-a-star-test-drive-review_55344.aspxA-star Automatic comes with the same engine as manual A-star. It comes with the identical specifications, 67PS at 6200rpm and 90Nm of peak torque at 3500rpm. But the engine gets a new partner – the autobox.

It is neither finger touch nor tight. Gear lever and steering wheel doesn’t transmit vibration even at high speeds. For this segment, Alto K10 sports commendable handling chracteristics. Out on the Bangalore highway, the superior flat out performance is complemented by stable handling. On the twisties and hairpin bends to Nandi hills, Alto K10 feels sure footed. We don’t expect an entry level car to behave like Thu, 10 Mar 2011 02:11:33 GMThttps://www.articleseen.com/Article_tata-aria-test-drive-and-review_54991.aspxTata Aria started in 2006 well before the Jaguar – Land Rover acquisition, yet, we could see a hint of LR styled dashboard in Aria. Aria dash is boxy yet appealing. The use of twin colours adds to the attractive quotient. Aria being the first indian car to come with integrated navigation system gives the dash a complete look. Material for seat cover used is good, yet we would love to see more classical styling (faux wood and chrome would be better). Tue, 08 Mar 2011 00:54:14 GMThttps://www.articleseen.com/Article_maruti-alto-test-drive-review_54781.aspxSuzuki has created a simple yet elegant car in the Alto. The design is basic and probably that’s why it works. The chunky bumpers are an Indian addition and are aesthetically good. The Alto resembles the 800 in some parts but overall is a decent looking package. Inside the car the interiors though a little cheap look reliable and built to last. The upholstery is not satisfying one bit. The displays are large, clear and minimal. Sat, 05 Mar 2011 05:21:37 GMT
